The application shall be accompanied by a death certificate as prescribed by the state’s Board of Health. No burial permit shall be issued until the application and death certificate shall be properly completed and presented. The body of a deceased person shall not be brought into the city for burial unless accompanied by a death certificate and permit for removal issued by the Registrar of the Registration District wherein the death occurred.
